※ In comparison with Ni/SiO2, Ni3P/SiO2 presented better stability；
※ Water can not suppress the stability and is not the main reason for deactivity of Ni-containing catalysts；
※ Water can effectively promote the HDO of methoxycyclohexane as an O-containing intermediate product; ※ For product distribution，with water addition, benzene selectivity was mainly promoted over Ni/SiO2 while cyclohexane selectivity was enhanced by Ni3P/SiO2. |
